Overview

• ADEPA’s semiannual report says public debate has degraded over the past six months, citing repeated insults from the President toward media and journalists and welcoming his stated intention to stop.
• It documents recent hostilities: assaults on Roberto Navarro and Eduardo Feinmann, police-related incidents at protests, vandalism at TN’s facilities in June, and repeated hacking attempts against Hugo Alconada Mon with coordinated online harassment.
• The association condemns a ruling by Judge Patricio Maraniello that barred publication of audios attributed to Karina Milei, describing it as prior censorship that restricts the public’s right to know.
• ADEPA notes the case prosecutor affirmed that journalistic sources and the inviolability of reporters’ homes remain protected in the investigation tied to the contested audios.
• Facing disinformation and generative AI risks, ADEPA adopts five principles urging authorization to use news content, fair value recognition, clear attribution, media plurality in AI systems, and formal engagement by tech firms, while calling leaders to bolster sustainable, responsible journalism.
